4/5 Airport officials said it was important for them to hear from so many members of the public, and that they’re working to address these concerns – at least to the extent they’re legally allowed.

By letting ICE use the Burlington airport unobstructed, protestors told facility officials on Wednesday that they are complicit in more people being removed from their families, homes and work. ICE did not respond to a request for comment. Nic Longo, the airport director, indicated they are looking into activists’ suggestion to establish a special position to screen whether detainees are able to exercise their legal rights. But he stressed that the facility is in a frustrating position given its limited authority and legal obligations to federal agencies.

2/5 “It’s time for you to take a stand on this and say, ‘No, ICE is not going to be sneaking human beings in the back door in the dark of the night,’” attendee Jana Porter told airport officials.
During nearly three hours of emotional testimony, dozens of speakers asked the commission and aviation director Nic Longo to block ICE from using the airport. They raised concerns about federal overreach, transferring detainees out of the public eye and without due process, and ultimately – human trafficking. Activists believe more than 500 detainees have been transferred out of state since January. They have compiled a public database based on data from the state’s inmate locator, which they’re cross-checking with news articles, Department of Justice press releases, federal court records and in-person observations. Vermont Public has not independently confirmed these numbers.
